Idle Air Valve S40-V40 2000

My V40 wasn't starting unless the gas pedal was depressed, and then it would die if you let up on the gas. My son and I took the throttle body off and cleaned it and cleaned out the vacuum line connections. After reassembly I noticed it would idle if I left one of the vacuum hoses disconnected, but die when I hooked it back up. I took off the idle air valve and cleaned it, but it still didn't work. The next morning I took another look at it and gently pried the idle air valve open. It popped open and I cleaned the gum off the valve seat. I worked it back and forth and got it moving freely and when reassembled it worked!! Apparently, the only thing wrong was the idle air valve was gummed up and stuck closed!!
